An 18-year-old Oldsmar man was back in Pinellas County Jail on Wednesday after authorities say he struck a pregnant Palm Harbor woman. It was the second time in as many weeks that Matthew James Curr was arrested on charges related to aggravated battery of a pregnant female. In the latest incident, which occurred at 2 p.m. Sunday, James punched Nadezhda Poplavski in the stomach, according to a Pinellas County Sheriff's Office report. Poplavski, 20, is more than 14 weeks pregnant. "I hope that baby dies," Curr told her. Poplavski complained of pain and was taken to Mease Countryside Hospital by ambulance, the report said. Her condition was not known. It's unclear who the first victim was. Curr remained in custody without bail.
